Sony has recently announced that its upcoming Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable)
will not include Region blocking software.

Sony following on the footsteps of Game Boy Advance has decided keep its PSP
region free. This move is in accordance to the nature of portable devices. Portable
devices implicitly mean 'Portability', thus having region codes strapped on to
game discs does not make sense, since people are expected to carry their systems
with them on trips abroad and therefore be able to purchase software outside
their native country or region.

Althought this announceme came from a SONY
Computer Entertainment
Europe (SCEE) boss David Reeves and was posted on the sony.com there are strong
suggestions that it is not fully true. First of all the interview where this
infor about PSP being region free was revealed has been remeoved from the sony
site and it is known that MPEG4 UMD movies for PSP wll have region blocks and
strong 128bit encoding for copy protection.

Sony's PSP is based upon its new UMD (Universal
Media Disc), a 60mm double-sided optical disc that can hold up to 1.8GB of
data around 2 hours of high resolution full motion video playback at DVD quality.
However, pressure from Hollywood means that movies distributed on UMD discs
for the device will still have to be region locked (similar to DVD region locking).

In another announcement, Sony has planned to increase main
system memory in the PSP from 8mb to 32mb, 24MB of main RAM, 4MB of video RAM
and 2MB of general-purpose media processor RAM. Also a special 'Full development
system' has been created for the platform which is expected to ship to developers
in the coming weeks replacing the PC-based emulators that are currently in
use for early game creation work.

New PSP Details

RAM count upped, and no region lock-out?

Over the past few days, new details have been leaking in regards to the Sony
PSP. Here are some of the following tidbits:

--The PSP might be able to wirelessly connect to other PSPs, the PS3, and the
Internet (much like a wireless laptop PC connection).
--There will reportedly be NO region lock-out on the PSP with regards to the
UMD disc format. So a PSP wil be universal, much like the Nintendo GBA.
--The amount of system RAM has been upped to 30 megs, as opposed to 12 in the
original system specs. 4 megs will be reserved for video.
